This Month’s Topic: Gravity
Gravity is the force that keeps our feet firmly on Earth and the planets of our solar system spinning, each perfectly spaced from our Sun. Learn how gravity protects us and what we can learn about the rest of our universe by studying this unseen force. The Springfield Science Museum’s STEM Curator, Kevin Kopchynski, will explore these topics and even explain the role of gravity in black holes.
